Andreas Pfenning Publishes Article in Nature In a recently published paper in Nature “Machine-guided design of cell-type-targeting cis-regulator elements”, Sager Gosai wrote about applying artificial intelligence (AI) methods to learn the “regulatory grammar” of cells’ genomic language. The authors applied those models to create synthetic DNA sequences. Recently, Nature released an article written by Ray and Stephanie Lane …
Recent Comp Bio Grad Helps Expand Tool To Analyze Evolutionary Biology Traits By Marylee Williams Media Inquiries When Ruby Redlich graduated from Carnegie Mellon University this past May, she left campus with more than her bachelor’s degree in computational biology.
